Episode #14: The Carnivore Diet! Ins & Outs, Benefits, & Downsides
/In this episode, I’m joined by a fellow FDN practitioner and friend, Jennifer Woodward. Together we take a deep dive into the ins and outs, benefits, and downsides of the carnivore diet.
Jennifer specializes in helping busy, overwhelmed moms get to the bottom on their chronic health issues using functional lab tests and a holistic, caring approach to wellness.
She has successfully worked with hundreds of women in her group coaching programs and in her private California practice.
